Garden of the Forest, 2022-2023
3d animation, Video,Digital Drawing
My work revolves around the idea and experience of "the dream" or dreams. My dreams are another pathway to my other world, where I can hop and fly around. 'Garden of the Forest' portrays an experience from my past. When I was wearing a perfume called 'Garden(guardian) of the Forest,' the scent stimulated my nose and reminded me of a particular landscape and place. But right after this thought, I realized the place didn't exist in real life, and it had all happened in my dream. Using live-action video combined with 3-D animation, I have transformed my 'Garden of the Forest' in my dream into reality.

I produced and participated in the group show, There is Nowhere, showcasing Mayu Furutani, Dyne Jeong, Handeul Kim, Kanon Okuno, and Jonosuke Tanaka’s artworks. The show was held at iidrr gallery from May 17-20, 2024.

In this show, I could expand the Garden of the Forest to reality, showing the physical works to the people. The main video introduces the story of the Garden of the Forest. Two perfumes lead people to feel their own Garden of the Forest, open to everyone to smell each perfume and pick one they like on the floor. The fabric work (Nowhere) portrays the vague boundary between reality and dream, yet it’s penetrating and visible to see the two girls (Fashion of the Forest) who are supposed to be in the dream world.

Green Perfume(Prototype), Purple Perfume, and Blue Perfume
I designed and sculptured the bottles and made fragrances for the perfumes. To create fragrances, I tried to make scents that reminded me of the place I had seen. I want people to feel and see the place they could imagine after applying these perfumes, leading them to somewhere-their Garden of the Forest.
